DOMESTIC WATER-BAG Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 19, 1916.

. Application filed April 27, 1916. Serial No. 93,980.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM MoGIn YOUNG, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, and resident of Victoria, in the Province of British Columbia,Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDomestic ater-Bags, of .Which' the following is the specification.

The invention relates to improvements in canvas domestic water bags asdescribed in the present specification and illustrated in theaccompanying drawing that forms part of th same.

The invention consists essentially in the construction and arrangement,whereby drinking water is notonly'filtered but the canvas retainers arekept sanitary in that all parts are accessible'for thorough cleansing.

The object of the invention is to provide a sanitary domestic or.drinking water bag for use in districts where ice is not obtainable,through the adaptation of the well known water bottle wherein water iskept cold through the effect of the condensation that goes on of thesmall film of water that forms on the exterior of the bag.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a longi tudinal section of an embodimentof the invention. Fig. '2 is a perspective view artly sectional of thereceptacle shown in ig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of .analternative form of the invention.

Like characters of reference refer to like parts in all the figures.

1 is the outer bag.

2 is the inner bag. 4

3 is the metal container for filtering material.

4 is the outer metal receptacle. The inner bag 2 is attached to theouter bag by a series of hooks which are fastened to the outer bag andover which the holes in the canvas collar 5 engage. The metal filtercontainer 3 fits into the bottom of the inner bag 2, the canvas band orcollar 6 fitting tightly and of such length as to permit of its beingtied with cord to insure against leak between the canvas and the metal.The

metal container 3 is so constructed as to have a larger diameter at theplace where the canvas collar 6 fits to permit of the collar passingover the pins 16 on the sides of the container. These pins engage in Lshaped recess 17 in the metal collar 7 which is attached to the outermetal receptacle 4 which is thus held in place by the usual and wellknown form of bayonet joint of which the pins and collar are componentparts.

The bottom 8 of the container 3 is perforated with small holes to form astrainer but which may consist of fine wire mesh. The opening 9 in thecontainer 3 is contracted or constructed with a smaller opening than thediameter of the container. The object of this is to permit of thefiltering material 10 (charcoal or other suitable substance) being helddown in place by a sponge 11 or other suitable material.

The outer receptacle 4 is constructed of suitable material, having thebayonet joint collar 7 attached to its s1des leaving a space outside thesaid collar to permit of the water finding its way up from the filter 8.The object of this receptacle is to provide an enlarged space in theouter bag 1 for reserve filtered water.

The openings 13 and 1.4 of the inner and outer bags 2 and 1respectively, may be closed by means of drawing the strings 18' and 19thereby preventing dust and the like from entering the bag when in use.The bag, when in use, is carried by the handles 15, which may be engagedto any suitable support.

In Fig. 3 an alternative form of the invention is shown in which boththe container 3 and the receptacle 4 are constructed of canvasthroughout, the container forming part of the inner bag-2. The lowestportion of the inner bag overhangs the container 3*. so that the opening9 into the same is 'contracted in the same manner as in the metalcontainer 3. -The strainer 8 in the bottom would be of metal and isattached to the container b'y string or the like in'the same manner asthe metal container 3 is attached to the inner bag 2. The receptacle 4may be attached to the bottom of the inner bag 2 by hooks and eyes 20and 21. The opening 13 of the inner bag 2 may be closed by the cover 22,while the opening 14 of the outer bag 1, may be closed by a flexiblemember similar to that illustrated in Fig. 1. In other respects thisform of the device is similar to that already described with respect toFig. 1, so that it is deemed unnecessary to further enlarge upon thesame.

It will be seen that by charging the inner bag 2 with water a supplywill in due course filter: through into the outer bag 2, from which itmay be drawn off by the canvas pipe 12.

The bags may be constructed in diiferent sizes and there may be variouschanges of construction to suit different requirements.

As manychanges could be made in the above construction and manyapparently widely different embodiments of my invention Within the scopeof the claims, constructed without departing from the spirit or scopethereof it is intended that all matter contained in theaccompanyingspecification and drawings shall be interpreted asillustrative and not ina limiting sense.

What I claim as my invention is:

1 A water bag of the character described comprising an outer bag adaptedto permit of the slow evaporation of the water passing therethrough, theoutlet pipe leading from the outerbag, an inner bag completelysurrounded by the outer bag and provided with a collar, means engagingwith the said collar for suspending the inner bag from the outer bag,and a filtering device forming an outlet from the inner bag.

2. A water bag of the character described comprising an outer bag, anoutlet pipe lead-.

ing from the outer bag, an inner bag, means for suspending the inner bagfrom the outer bag, a filtering device forming an outlet from the innerbag, said filtering device comprising an outer receptacle, an innerreceptacle removably connected thereto and spaced therefrom, andfiltering material in the inner receptacle, and means for attaching theinner receptacle to the inner bag.

'3. A water bag for the purpose comprising an inner bag having anopening at the bottom and a collar around the opening, a metal containerconnected to the colcomprising an inner bag having an opening at thebottom and a collar around the opening, a 'metal container connected tothe collar and projecting downwardly therefrom and being filled with afiltering material and having a perforated bottom, a second metalcontainer fitting about the first and spaced therefrom and removablyconnected thereto, said second container having an outlet at the topthrough which a filter of water may overflow, an outer bag surroundingand connected to' the inner bag, and a plurality of hooks forming theconnection between the outer and inner bag.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twowitnesses.
